This plan is divided into three sections. The first,
The Six Major Reforms, gives readers a compass for understanding our major changes in
six reform areas:
· Reorganizing by function
· Replacing HUD's financial management system
· Creating an Enforcement Authority
· Refocusing HUD's mission and retraining our workforce
· Establishing new performance-based systems
· Creating a customer-friendly organization.
The first section shines a spotlight on each reform area, explaining
why it is relevant, what changes will occur, and who will be affected.
In some cases, HUD's organization will change to implement
needed reforms; in others, specific programs will change to achieve
our reinvention goals. Regardless, they are reforms that will cut across
the face and through the depth of what HUD is today, reconstituting
the HUD of the future.
The second section, Business Line Reform
Plans, describes the reforms each of HUD's business lines will undertake. From Public and
Indian Housing to Fair Housing to Community Planning and
Development, specific problems, reforms, and benefits are laid out. Each business
line answers these questions: Why do we need to change? What reforms
will we make? What benefits will result? What legislation, if any, do
we need to make the change?
Finally, the Appendix provides supporting details.
